Study of the week Feb 16th

Sorry there has been a delay, but I'm back!

This week we look at Competency-Based Learning.

Short article, here are the highlights.


  1. In a forward-looking move, New Hampshire passed a law allowing students to receive credit for individualized learning experiences that bring the learning to life for them.
  2. The move is from seat time to proof of learning based on students' needs and interests.
  3. Teachers and schools are embracing this slowly but surely, and there is concern for teacher workloads if this continues to expand.
  4. Anecdotes provided in article.
How is what we're doing with EL (or in the district) supporting or hindering this kind of learning?  What kinds of kids do you see this working for?
